and fluids constitute the negative and positive lorceß.

every.part of .the body, estahiiahing and preserving a
proper balance or the electrical element, which consti
tutes aeeltk and a disturhance of which causes disease.
Thetb are strictly but two eosdittons of disease—one of
inflammation, or positive; the other weak, debilitated,
negative: and as Btedtricity coniAlntr these two condi
tions in the action of the positive audnexatiye currents,
all wehave to do is to neutralize' the disease and restore
properheairhy action.
we do not wish to convey the Impression that we cure
all diseases in all conditions. We cannot cure consump
tion after the lungs are all destroyed; yet we do assert,
and arrprepareu to practically demonstrate, that hun
dreds of oases of-almost every form of chroaio disease.-
pronounced incurable by the nest medical practitioners
of .the country, have been radically cubed, tone of
them in an incredibly .short time, by our Electric*!
trsatment Its great superiority OTer other practices iu
the cure of disease is also, attested in the f&dt that, with
in tbe past five years, over fourteen thousand patients
have been treated at tbis office, suffering from almost
every form and, condition ofjushasa common to hu
manity, and in nearly al] cases a benefit or perfect cure
has been effected. Therefore, with these PACTS to
prove oux theory and treatment of dftease, we are wil
ling to guarantee any. of the following diseases by
special contract, if .thejpationt desires, with very many
others not here enumerated:
1. Diseases of the Brain and Ferv&us System.—Epi
lepsy* Chorea-or St Titus r Dance, Paralysis (Hemipie
aia and Paraplegia). HeurUgla,.Hysteria. Nervousness,
Palpitation of the Heart, Lock jaw, etc., etc

plaints, involving a znal-pogltion. as Prolapsus, Ante
version, Retroversion, inflammation. Ulceration, and
various other affections of the Womband Ovaries, P&\ii~

7. Skin Diseases. -Scrofulous Eruptions, Glandular
Swellings, Ulcers of every kind, Felons, Erysipelas,
Herpes or Tetter; in fact.-iv every description of ssin
disease the Galvanic Bath has proved vastly more effi

of the Eieand Ear.
TOLADlKScanwe recommend this treatment as one of
UNVARIED SUCCESS. Almostinntunsrable cases have
come under treatment at our office whocantestiry to this
fact. Mrs. S. A FULTON, a lady of great experience
and' ability, has entire charge of the,
ment, and all delicacy will be deed toward those who
entrust themselves to her care. In female diseases as
mentioned in the above list, with others hot mentioned,
she has h&d a large experience, and can confidently
promise the mo*t gratifi lag results.
TO TfcE AFFLIOTBD.—The treatment is mild and
gentle, producing no shock or unpleasant sensation
whatever. Our professional intercourse with the af
flicted will ever be characterized by perfect candor and
honesty, and those whose complaints are incurable, or
do not admit of amelioration, will be fraokly told so,
and not accepted for treatment. It mailers not what
may be your complaint, or how long you may have suf
fared, or how much, or what course of treatment you
may nave been snbjected to, or what disappointments
Sou have experienced; if the system is not worn out—
sufficient vitality remains for reaction—there fair
prospect of recovery*. *

To the Editor of The Press: , ,
SIE: I cannot, my dear the expres
sion or hearty thanks for the words of oouragegns
wisdom in the “Oooaslonal’ l published 'in .'fjkr
Press of to<i£ty. If is only natural that the loyal
men of the conntry should have their judgments
distempered by resentment for the supporters of the.
wlekbd and atrooions. rebellion against.the rightful’
Supremacy of a just and-beneficent Government,
Yet the iejunotlon to'«he angry and eln not,” flnds,
not Its -least force' of jwst applloatfon In
gnch a crisis as wo are. oalled on to act In; and the
highest imeasnrs hf etateimaasflilp will’ not ao
oeplpasslonate vlndlctlyeness as the best guarantee
of loyalty to the State. I believe you speak more
appreciatively And.more faithfully for'the public
mind than thioae who Interpret it by their own ex
asperated feelings: Under all the fieroe antagonism
into whioh - the American people have been led,
there is a deep and profound yearning for that visi
ble .unity whioh, although temporarily" sundered,
Is cherished as alike the highest earthly blessing
and the exponent of a great N atioh-ality, in whieh
the best hopes and the dearest interests of humanity
are Involved. , :
The man has studied the character Of the AmerK
oil people to little advantage who has not learned
that the sente of common nationality Is the highest
inspiration which an American citizen oan recog
nize to political duty:
Mr. Llnooln spoke responsive to this feeUng when
he said, as quoted by you from his Inaugural Ad
dress, “ The mystic chords of, memory etretoh from
-every battle-field ancl patriot grave to every living
heart and hearthstone all over this broad land.’’
Bis words took on, as you correctly say, poo tic form,-
because they expressed a great and profound truth,
and, in the language of one of the best poets of our
. day, “The truest truth la the purest beauty.” Not'
only, believe me, do these “ mystic chords ’’ sound
to every tone American heart their own dear: musloi
hut there is a otfhsclchpness, defies definltiim
and^beffiesr expression,' thdt the great American na
tionality Is a dlyliiely-ordalned instrument for heal
ingthe nations of the fonl canker and leprous spots in
..civil Society which the dominations of caste and
privilege have wrought on the peoples of 'the earth,
delta wonder then that the American people should'
look upon it as a high and holy privilege to be a
part la the mighty mission to establish a true Chris
tian civilization under the guarantee o£ : Freedom
which this nation Is destined to accomplish! -
: Obscured as this great truth has boon to the mis
guided people of the South by the m&ehinations of
the bold, had men, who have perverted their minds
with artful appeals, ter State rights, which no oon
slderablc portion of their oountrymen ever dreamed -
of violating, yet not only in the mountains of Ten
nessee and North Carolina, but we jmay believe by"
many a rebel camp fire, and, alas I in .the midst, of
fleice onßianghtß on their brethren and in the awful
cfashes of deadly strife, has it mealed ltseir to
their aching hearts. <1 shall not soon forget what
my bravo boy told, me of his feelings when, le a se.
valry obarge, he fancied he saw,my own brother’s
sonin the front of the rebel ranks, and how stern
determination for duty to the flag of the Union, in
stinctively overcame well-remembered .and dearly
cherished affections. “ All over thls-broad land,”
now for a time darkened by the awfal oloud of such
a 'strife as we, tie Titans or the world, could only
wage, rlße up loytog desires, sweet charities, memo
ries of glorious Itraditions, consciousness or a com
mon heritage and a common duty and dostiny,
which swell the mighty monotone of race, blood,
and kindred.
The agonies that grow Rom tha oonmot of such
elements cannot make a vain and fruitless sacrifice,
but rather may we faithfully hope they shall be to
ns dearer and more enduring links iu the chain of
our future and oommefa desHny.
Excuse me, dear sir, for Tfind a restraint
necessary on what I Intended to write of a few
words only of thankfulness for your grave and well
timed suggestions to your fellow-citizens or kind
ness and charity, not inconsistent with the sternest
duties of patriotism and loyalty, for the sadly mis
guided and most unhappy people, who are' In armed
rebepon against the Government no less theirs
than ours, and powerful against them for punish
ment, Ibut-to them, as to us, equally', mighty for
good. This spirit may soon enable us to realize
that ..., -' V . „ i-.i.-v,

There can be ho doubt that the Intense desire felt
by the people, Worth Mid ; South, for peace, will
eventually bring Its secure establishment, and as
Uttle donbt that; It: will only be on such terms as the
stronger party in tkls.oivll oonillet will accept as sa

scioumoss of power will not lead the American peo'
pie to ask any thing from their.no#, alienated fell
low-oountrymenpr any terms to #Moh they ought not
to submit. The truth wlllyet dawn on the minds of
all those now In rebellion, which Is well known to
their leaders, that nothing has ever beemasked of
them, and nothing will ever be asked of them, and
nothing lees will be sooepted, than that cheerful
obedience.to the law and to the national authority
which is thb duty of every Amerloaneltlzen.

Sewing Womenanrttneir Wrongs.
To the Editor of The Press: :
Sib f For man; months your paper has been Olb
ousting in Its oommuniootions the,sufferings and
oppressions of the poor sewing women. It has also
recounted proceedings, of meetings, hold to devise
protection and aid for these deserving persons. - ' Yet<
it seems that some old complaints are renewed at
the present time, modified only by the fact that
there is how a greater disparity between the cost of
Uvingand the remuneration paid these women than
ever before. It is a burning shame that a cause
which appeals to every Instinct of moral parity, to
every manly sentiment of ohlvalry, to every princi
ple of that magnanimity whlcli oans for the assist
ance of the helpless, should have as yet failed to en
list. a sufficient! practical sympathy to afford the
necessary relief. I have looked In vain for some re
port of-plans adopted to aid these women, and have
setOh nothing In print which contemplated anything
more effective than sending a delegation to pour
complaints into Mr. Stanton’s ear ia regard to the
Arsenal. Now, if the fault lay in the Arsenal, and
notin the grinding greed of heartless men j if its
regulations were at fault, rather than the low code
of honor and the selfish maxims which rule In the.
. race for money, such an effort might promise good
results. But whatever may be done by the Depart
ment, a mail who has sufficient influence or means
to obtain a oontfaft and secure its performance is a
ffiore powerful agent in business than a hundred
-stooping, shivering women with a needle and spool
of thread. Here, it seems, to me, is the root of the
sewing woman’s difficulty, which extends through
out every department of labor, whether for the Go
vernment or elsewhere; a woman who is poor can
not compete in thO market with men who have
money or influence. It is a law of the market to buy
as cheaply as possible'and sell as dearly as possi
ble; and the limits of this law are not men’s
sense of honor or justice, hut the limits of supply.
and demand. However much men may scold and
denounce contractors, there is not enemanin a hun
dred who, in his own business, will not out down the,
/wages of Ms employees to the. very lowestprlces that
will command their labor,' whether those prices b r e
adequate and righteous or not. Here/ls woman’s
trouble, when thrown upon her own resources for a
livelihood, that (since this never ooourf until she is
pressed by necessity), being poor and unprotected,
she cannot compete with men in the fierce, heart
less, grinding, greedy purstUt of gain.
Now, sir, I only know of one adequate remedy, of
but one method of securing her a fair field, and by.
giving her adequate means of earning a living, pre
serve her self-respect and refinement of character.
Enlist .capital and influence In bey behalf. Bring
her into partnership with business tact and wealth.
This might be done through the agency of a society
incorporated for that purpose. Suppose leading
men el benevplence and character combine, obtain
a charter, and raising subscriptions, or famishing
capital, invest It In Government stocks, which might
be used as security for the engagements of this soci
ety. Then, let this society obtain eontraots for all
such work as women ban do; let it compete with
men in business in the place of tbe poor women. This
done, the society, through its proper officers, could
receive applications for work bom deserving wo"
men, who come properly rooommended. Hot these
women stand in some permanent relation to the so
ciety, as Its beneficiaries. If it were deemed advi
sable, expenses could.be defrayed either .by appeals
to a charitable community, or by the deduction of a
small per oentage from the contract prices for the
work, the balance going to the workwoman, if such
an Institution were formed it might add another fea
ture, and assure its beneficiaries for a small weekly
payment against sickness of inability to work. In
an enterpiise of tMs kind; however, It shfiuld be dis
tinctly understood that the women who were to be
benefitted by It were to have all the money earned
or donated except the most necessary expenses, and
this Bhonld.be guaranteed by the standing and oha*
raoter of the men who control It. Such an institu
tion, by using its capital only for securities, and
keeping it Invested, could pay Over what it earned.
Jnthiswayasai dividend to subscribers,and thus
command as large a capital as was desirable. If It
were once started,: and prudently managed, la a
, very few years it might become a molt extended and
beneficent, agency; conferring its benefits upon thou
sands of Buffering women.
I am led to communicate this to you, as the result
of long-continued thought upon this matter, and,
QXBES’
or. & P. COATS.
vainly enough, in the hope that it may leal to some
adequate practical device for the relief of theseevlls,
rojuatly and widely complained of. I shall be happy
to explain my views more In detail to any responsi
ble persons sufficiently interested In this matter to
address a line to me through your office.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,

celling of Which was supported by two' rows of co
lumns, extending theWbole length; mt the.-middle
ol the syace corresponding to the’principal en
trances were two wing walls, by which, with the ad
dition. of screens,- the whole space oould be divided
into two,large rooms, with a hall extending across

gnlehed alike for their devotion, to the Interests of
the Institution, of Which they have ibeon regonts
from Its organization, and for their valuable ser
vices. In the large hill at the south entrance to
the building were a number of artlcles'Of special in
terest. The most prominentof these was the anolent
sarcophagus, Which was brought to this country
on the frigate Constitution; by Commodore Elliott,
from Beirut, in Syria, In 1839>Thfi'sarcophftgus
was believed to bo the repository of the remains of a
: Roman Emperor, and was intended for those of Pre
sident Andrew Jackson, whiok tlio General, how
ever, refuged to accept. Algo/a'largo ooHec tion of
Idols from ,Central America, presented by E. G.
Squier. In the picture gallery was the collection
of Indian paintings, the.work and property of Air.
Stanley, about two hundred in number, comprising
portraitures of prominent Indians, plctnrdh of
mounds and other relics, beside several highly
esteemed speolmens of statuary. The lecture-room
was regarded as one of the pest in this country. It
was one hundred feet In length, and, by occupying
part of the towers, a width of seventy-flve feet had
been secured. The ceiling was twenty-five feet high,
smooth and unbroken, with the exception of ah oval
opening above to admit light on the platform. It
Hum powerfully reflected.the sound of the speaker’s
voice to-the hearers, and. being so low, this reflection
blended with. :the original sound and simply rein
forced it.
; The general form of the room was fan-shaped, the
speaker being near the handle of the fan on one
side of the room. The walls; behind and near Mm
were smooth lath and plaster, giving a powerful but
shortreßonance, which strengthened his voice. .Not
being parallel, they reduced the reverberation, but
sent the sound out from the speaker to Increase
the volume of his voioe until It reached the furthest
part of the gallery. The multitude of surfaces
directly in front of . the speaker—gallery, pillars,
stair-Ecreenß, and the seats of the audience—pre
vented reverberation. The seats were curved, so
that each spectator faced the platform; and the floor
was also curved,* so that the back seats rose-above
the front, The gallery was in the form of a horse
shoe. The archltectnre of this room was dne to
Captain Alexander, or the corps of topographical
engineers, who varied the plan until the required
conditions were as nearly as possible fulfilled. The
room could seat fifteen hundred persons, and when
crowded would contain upwards of two thousand. .
The apparatus room contained a large and valu
able collection of Instruments, prominent among
which was the mnnfficent 'donation of Dr. Robert
Hare, of Philadelphia, who, when he resigned the
chair of chemistry In the ;TJnlversity of Pennsyl
vania, which he .filled withhonor to himself and h(s
country ror nearly thirty years, presented to the
Smithsonian the instruments of research and Illus
tration collected and used by himself during his
long and sncceEsfnl scientific career. Besides the
above, there was a full Bet of pneumatic instru
ments, of superior site and workmanship, oon
struoted expressly for the Institution, by Mr. Cham
berlain, of Boston; a set of Ingenious instruments
for Illustrating wave motion; a large electrical ma
chine; Page’s electro-magnetic Instrument, Ac.
Then was also in this room a large Presnel lens, .
such as Is nsed in light-houses, ana various Instru
ments for the illustration of light, heat, sound, dia
magnetism, Ac, Also, a German steam electrical
machine, Imported" from Oarlsrnhe, Germany,
.which was constructed by G. : Isenlohr expressly to
order. -The effects produced by this machine were
wonderful. It consisted principally of a tabular
steam holler resting upon glass columns, to secure
insolation. The holler being about two-thirds filiea
with the purest water, which, being heated, pro
duced a pressure of steam equal to six atmospheres,
the steam, at this high pressure, was allowed to .
escape through very Bmall openings. The electricity
was thus produced by .the friction of the particles of
water against the inner surface of the orifices of the
jet pieces through which the steam issues. Tbls_
. machine charged a battery of.slxteen large jars. to
thirty seconds; also, a large electrical machine on.
an elevated platform. This Instrument was con
structed by Dr. Kobort Hare, of Philadelphia.
The.destructlon of this magnificent building Is a,
national calamity that cannot bn. too highly de
plored. Its architecture was the admiration of every
. visiter to this city, and we doubt whether there Is a
building In the world more perfect or symmetrical
hilts style azxji finish; for while every regard had
been paid to the nicety of Its construction, It at the
sametime presented a most solid and substantial
appearance, and, viewed from any direction,formed,
a picture and model of beauty rarely witnessed.
Persons accustomed to the sight of It forgot to ad
mire its proportions; but, next to the Oapltolltself,
it was the object that first attraoted the attention or
strangers. The lecture room was well,adapted for
the purposes for whlbh it wks Intended rund'seme of
the most learned and eloquent'men of this country
have discoursed therein on&sclentifio, educational,
and literary topics to larget and intellectual au
diences. The present, as' well as coming
generations, will have cause to regret this
learfnl conflagration, on account of the statlstl-.
pal and general Information in natural history
which had been stored within its walls, and
which was the collection of many years; and it
will perhaps be Impossible ever to. replace many of
the valuable articles and records. The collection
of Indian portraits, comprising probably two
or three hundred faithful pictures of the most -
celebrated - chiefs . that have ever lived—painted
entirely by Mr. Stanley, an artist residing In this
city during a period of forty years—many ofthem
Sketched from life itself, was one of the leading
features of this noted resort. In addition to. the
gallery, several cnrlons specimens of the Inge
nuity and taste displayed by this.untutored race
were earefnlly and tastefully arranged, and formed
no slight addition to the wonders of the Institution.
' This gallery was In. Itself a study. The variety of
characters portrayed In the countenances of the chiefs
from the most uncivilised to those who had enjoyed
the advantages of, society and education,'formed a
striking lesson of what oould bo accomplished by
the philanthropist who felt Inclined to ns© hls ef
- forts m reforming and teaching this muoh-negleoted
and fast disappearing element of onr population.,
Mr. Stanley owned this collection of paintings, and'
had just cause to feel prond of his noble work of art.
He oannot be sympathised with. The
labor of a lifetime has Men consumed In one short
hour. We presume it was not generally known
that these picture? were individual property. Per
sons would naturally suppose that they belonged,
to the Government. Daring yesterday afternoon
a lady from Michigan, who was authorised to re
port a description of the gallery, with a view to
induce the purchase of the collection by that-State
for the benefit of lts university, visited the hall In
company tilth- Professor Henry, and Inspected the
pictures, uttle' did Uhls devoted artist think that
he was gazing for the last time on the evidences of
bis handiwork, which have -excited so much .In
terest In the minds of the thousands of onr country
men and countrywomen whohavebeen permitted to
visit the Smithsonian; and whioh won|d have formed
a most valuable monument of his Industry, hie ta
lent, and his geninr. In the same hell, located on
the second story <ff the main building, on a raised
platform, was appropriately placed that fine pleoeof
sonlpture, the Dying Gladiator. This beautiful work,
we understand, war the- propertyef-a primsoltl

‘respondent of tils New York Tribune, who has gone
through all the principal works on the peninsula
conquered by odr-troops', expresses In‘unmeasured
terms his admiration of the strength and skill with
which they are: bout No description, he asserts,
can give even an idea of the stupendous and Titanic
proportions of the forts, whlch, nnder the blessing
. or Providence, were of no avail before our genius
and valor. There are thrcegzeaf, glgantie works,
Fisher, Mound Fort—the redan of the whole llnet
and Fort Buohanan, the orowhißg work of the whole.
The latter is pronounced by Competent officers who
have inspected It the completest specimen of on-
Sineering skill to which the' present war has given
lrth. The name is given in honor of Commodore
Buchanan, who, it will' beremgmbered, fought and
blew up the Merrlmao, and was finally captured by
the heroic Farragut, with the loss of one leg, at
Mobile. It.waa a naval brt,of five naval officers,
and garrisoned by 122 men. The fort Is about three
hundred and fifty leet long from north to south, and
two hundred from east to West at the base,'with a
shelf fifty feet In length ornthe ends half the height
of the centre. It la rounded at the corners, with a
handsome-sloping glacis, sown all over with beach
grass. Near the east front, sank In the top or the
work, is a trench wfth steps to descend at each end,
and abanquette on .each side for infantry. The
pit'is thirty pains in'length, and five feet deep.
On the northwests angle of the shelf, sunk
and mounted on.a Circular track, on a pivot,
is an eleven, inch.,Brooks rifled gun of handsome
-finish. It Is so mounted as to sweep In any ,desired
direction. ..It was this gun which did such execu
tion upon our paen after they had mounted the
northwest angle'of FortFlsher. In a straight, line
from Fisher it 1b about oneand a half miles. Next
‘to it is another of precisely the saine. pattern, simi
larly 'mounted, and two 10-lnoh ooldmblads, all
commanding the ohannelat half a mile west of the
fbrt.- A boat howitzermakes up the armament.
There are entrances from the gunbeds to covered'
. ways which-past at right angles with each other
through every portion of the fort at least fifteen
feet below the-surface. Fvery square foot of space
oh the sides of these presage.ways is filled with the
-most perfeet fixed ammunition. There is besides, a.'-
lQWhxf-bombproof, lnwbich the wounded were placed
durlbg the fight.' The main passage-way, opens,
toward theeastpand forms a sally-port for entry
and egress; but It can he closed at pleasure. This
work excites the admiration of every one who visits
..at — ii Tran here . that about .six' hundred of
the rphels wSW-eSaaaad from tn«.vnt».in. work
took . xefiige. ; awaiting the~amvaT orWoats to ’
take them on. Here G-eh. Whiflng and 001. f<amb
were carried on stretchera after they Were wounded,
and our men had driven them out. Engllshgua
sers were employed In this battery. The chief one
contrived a plan for blowing np the fort, the maga
zine to.befired by opening the door oft®bomb
proof. The surgeon-protested against the sacrifice
of the wosnded men, and the fort was saved.
Mound Fort forms the extreme southwest ehd&fthe
.sea face of the fort, and, as Its name indicates, is a
vast mound, higher than any other part of the ex
tensive works. It is ascended by a long flight of
steps np the. west slope, through a sally-port cut In
a eloping gorge Into the orest of the mound. There
are two ten-Inch Columbians mounted here, one of
whleh is literally covered by the blood of the gun
ners who stood hy it during the naval bombard
ment. •-
Fort Fisher, whloh has already -been fully de
scribed, Is now In a state of chaos from the recent
explosion of the magazine. The sad-work of exhu
ming the dead by tiua awful catastrophe commenced
on the 15th, and at last accounts Is but slowly
progressing. The Immense amount of sand dis
placed, and the wide extent of ground covered over,
render the labor very great and necessarily slow.
Eleven were dug out to- day. Moßt of them were re
cognized as belonging to one company of the 203 d
Pennsylvania. They were asleep at the Instant of
the explosion, and knew no waking. The position
of their limbs indicated that they were reclining In
unconscious slumber when death overtook them.
Many were horribly disfigured and soaroely recog
nizable. Fragments of human limbs, entrailß,
scalps, Ac., whloh must.have belonged to a dozen
or more bodies, were gathered In one pUe and burled
together in. one coffin. Bebel dead lay scattered
about—some of them exhumed from the sand,
others who bad died from wounds In the dark
passage ways and coiners of the bomb-proofs,
where they had crawled after being wounded.
The losses sustained by this catastrophe will not
be so large as was at first reported. Many who were
missing and supposed to have been burled have been
accounted for. For instance, the total losa of the
169th New York, in the assault and by theexp’.oslon,
is but 159.. This Is the largest loss sustained, by any
regiment. The losses or tho 116th New York, 4th
New Hampshire, and 203 d Pennsylvania were not
so heavy by the aootdent, but they largely,
particularly in officers, durlngjehe terrlfic.flghtlngfor
the mastery of the place The total loss by official
report is seven hundred, and of tMs number the fol
lowing are Pennsylvanians, although some of the
subjoined were killed and wounded in the fighting:

[From the Mew York Tribune. 1
Washinotoh, Jan. 19,1886,
Thesuocessof General Terry’s attack upon Sort
Elßher, following so qnlokly upon Generalßntler’a
withdrawal from before that work, may Have hur
ried the just judgments of some men away from a
comparison of the .different conditions of the. two.
'attempts. They axe as different as thelrroaulta.are
different.*
- I. Gen.-Butler started on Msenterprise with
6,&<H) troops and six pieces of ffeld artillery, the
heaviest being twelve-pounders.
> Gen. Terry : started with between 13,000, and 15,000
troops from the Army of the James, mom the 19th
Sotps and from Lew. Wallace’s force. Be was to
have the help of a column of 8,00(1 sailors and ma
rines. He had also a siege traln,

hundred men (2,200), and became Immediately en
gaged with a fbroe of the enemy posted in his rear
up the Peninsula. It Is now admitted that this
rebel force was as strong as Bauer’s entire com
mand.
Terry landed eight thousand men In such com
plete security that, aa the Baltlmore American says,
“ they were overjoyed to again get from shipboard,
and the bands were soon'playlng, and the men run
utng abaatand rolling lu the warm sand like school
children enjoying* holiday. Hot a sign of an enemy
could bo eeenln any direction.” 1

0.1“ •h°'eeooDa eapeditton, as Secretary Stanton
B *ya : “ The aea-fronttaf the fort had been greatly
damaged and broken’by a continuous ami terrible
‘-fire-of tbefleet for tiawe flays.”
aJeo says: “It was soon apparent that the-Iron ves
sela had thei best ofittraverses began to disappear,
and the Bouthern ftbgle of Fort Fisher began to look
iirarey gttntn the Bonthem
angle kept up its fire.”
_* * * By sunset, the fort was reduced to a ,
palp—every puow&s afleaaed by being injured or
covered upwlth the earth'j se that they would not
work.*' * ; ,
VII. In Butler’s attack on Fort Fisher the. fire of
•thfhfieet Qlfi not Injure or weaken the land*face of
the fort.
In Terry's attack, the tiro of the fleet dismounted
sad injured all of the guas on-the land Bide, when
Terry waa to attack, and all of* t&o guns on the sea
Bide. . '
. Tin. Notwithstanding the Injury which, the fort
had received on both, aides, and the silencing of all
its gnis on both sides, porter’s 2jooosallors and ma
rines, who assaulted on the sea, side, were driven
right back, and the three brigades that attacked on
the land'Blde were unable to enterthe fort, after two
hours of determined fighting, with all the help the
fleet could give, them. Of this help-secretary Stan*
ton eats: i
" By a skilfolly directed fire thrown Into the tra
verses, one afterianothor as they were occupied by
the enemj, Admiral Porter contributed to the suo
ceEs of the assaulting column. By sfghals between
hlnisuf and General Terry, at brief Intervals, this
fire was so well managed as to damlige the enemy
without injury to-our own troops.” ~
JX. EuUer, with only 2,200 men sashore, wisely
and dutifully declined to assault Pork Fisher, .unin
jured by the fire of the fleet;
Injured and Its file silenced, Terry could not take
It with 6,000 men (troops, sailors, and marines),jafter
two hours’ fighting. Be had to put In Akbot’s brl
f;ade of St ooo fresh men to finish the job, audit took
rom 6 oTlcck till 10 lor the oomblned 0,000 to do It.
Secretary Stanton says:
-• “The works were so constructed that every tra
verse afforded the enemy a new,defensive position,
from whence they had to be. driven. They were
seven in number, mid the 'fight was carried on from
traverse to traverse, for seven hours.”
X. Porter’s assaulting column of sailors and ma
rines was much larger than the whole column that
General Batter sent to the assault. It attacked, as
Secretary Stanton says, “the least difficult aide”
of the fort; yet, It was, as Secretary Stanton says,
“after a short confilct, checked and driven hack in
dborder,” And yet they were perfectly brave men.
So were the 3,C00 heroes of Curtis’, Ponnypaoker’s,
and Bell’s brigades, torn could not, unaided, get In
on' the other side, although, as Secretary Stanton
says, the sailors and marines “ performed the very
useful part of diverting the attention of the enemy
and weakening the resletanceto their attack.” And
so were Butler’s men brave, and sc were their
leaders; but .the bravest ,men oan’t do Impossible
things, and It was a totally impossible thing for But
ler’s 1.200 men to take that fort
XI. Had It not' been for the co. operation of the
fleet In Its fire, it Is reasonably certain that the as
sault by Terry would have disastrously failed. Se
cretary Stanton has in these,few words described
the amazing strength of the fort: “ Work unsur-
Sassed, It ever equalled, In strength, and which
ieneral Beauregard a few days before pronounced
Impregnable ”
The. Baltimore dmirtcan pictures it thus:
“ Fort Fisher is the largest and most formidable
earthwork of the war.' "It embraces not less thin
fifteen aoreß of land, and its erection has been a
work of great labor, Its height being not less than
thirty lent. Your readers may form some Idea or
Its dimensions when I assure yon that It Is at least
six times the size of Fort Federal Hill, while It has
a dozen or more smaller batteries extending along
tbe coast south of it to the Wound, a distance of
nearly a mile. This mound, which has two oase
. mates in It, with heavy guns, Is said to be fifty feet
high. Instead of being an earthwork with embra
'tores, the iort consists of a series of mound-like
approach to the .work between each otwhloh a gun
Is mounted. Xt nrso sliu&teA that these guns "com
mand not only the sea, but can be-uaed. jw well to
resist a land approach along the beach. Each of
these hillocks, whlehare about thirty feet Ugh, is a
bomb proof, into which the men who work the guas
■■iffjh „••• ■ ' '
' XII. If the disposition to cWjperato wlth Butler
had existed In the fleet, It could not have persist
ently co-operated with his assault, if he had per
sistently made one j tor,, when Butler was about to
move to the attack, Gapt; Breese, of the navy, Ad
miral Forter’s chief bf staff, Informed Gen. Welt
xeland Col Comstock that the fleet had but bne
hour’s supply of ammunition left i
XIII. Bearing In mind the formidable strength of
the fort—bearing In mind that Terry’s attack bad
the benefit of all the experience derived Orem the
failure of Butler’s—bearing In mind the want of- co
operation between the fleet and Bauer’s army
bearing In mind the Immense difference In the num
bers used In the different assaults—especially bear
ing In mind that the fire of the fleet swept the way
clean for the advance of Terry’s soldiers from tra
verse to traverse—there Is not a candid man In
America who will not Bay that Gen. Butler’s with
drawal from his assault on Fort Fisher was an act
of soldierly duty, as honorable to him as, under dif
ferent circumstances, was Gen. Terry’s persistence
In the second assault an act of soldierly duty, hono
rable to him and honorable to the brave men he
commanded. -
